Is online bingo different to land based bingo?
There are many similarities between playing bingo online and playing it in a land based bingo club. Every player has a ticket and marks off the numbers on the ticket as they are called. The player that marks off all their numbers first is the winner. Along the way there are often smaller prizes for crossing off One Line or Two Lines on the ticket first. However, when you’re playing online bingo, you don’t have to worry about keeping up with the caller because our games can be set to mark automatically.
